May 15, International Day of Families

The International Day of Families is celebrated annually on May 15. The day was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, recognizing the fundamental importance of families in the social fabric and promoting awareness of issues affecting them.

The establishment of this day responds to the need to highlight the central role of families in society and to address the social, economic, and demographic challenges that impact them. The main objective is to promote policies and initiatives that strengthen families, promoting their well-being and development.
